Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Every market we collect.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 11.43/day in the week to Aug 29 → 21.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This gives off such an ARG vibe and it is so rewarding. Amazing !!
One of a kind.
Picked this up on a whim and what an absolute gem of a game. Creative puzzles that speak to someone who grew up in the 90s, challenging without being too abstract or unsolvable. Not overly long, I think I spent a solid 10 hours or so total? Great game, definitely makes it onto my goty list this year.

很有意思的悬疑推理游戏 推荐在安静沉浸的氛围一口气玩完 流程大概六七个小时左右
this game made me cry in the end. beautiful story, amazing gameplay and unique puzzle format, truly one of a kind in my mind.
Beating it took about 10-ish hours. The puzzles were fun and interesting except a few where I lost my patience because my brain is rock. The atmosphere was really neat and the music was good. I still think the highlight is the puzzles and how they blend together overall computer/file structures and windows into the puzzles to have everything work.
I love this game. The puzzles are engaging and not too easy and some puzzles were pretty difficult for me, the lore is sprinkled throughout the game and the story is interesting, the overall vibe is unsettling and captivating. I would say more but I went into this game totally blind after it was gifted to me and figuring out the story as I went definitely added to the experience. I was totally immersed, it really felt like I was on someone's computer lol. I could see someone like Markiplier playing this and loving it.
What a delight to play with someone who is such a genius sitting next to me helping me solve such intricate and well-thought out puzzles. These puzzles make YOU feel like a genius for solving them, and often they are so interactive and fun they'll leave you with a FAT smile on your face. GREAT STORY AS WELL, WITH MANY TWISTS AND TURNS!!!! SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER recommended! PLAYT THIS NOWWWWWWW
i LOVE DESKTOP HORROR GAMES! this scratches such a satisfying itch in my brain and the puzzles are actually really difficult. the story is amazing and you can tell so much love was put into this game! I only wish there was a dlc where you could look at the the website pages online!
An interesting and immersive puzzle game using many elements from old computers, such as notepads, online chatrooms, and much more.
